Terminal Affection

[Intro] This is so… so grim. This whole strange journey… Look at the face that you gave me. You gave me a sign… To keep on moving backward. Pulling me past the grave… Now the darkness I’m running from… [Verse 1] At the bottom of the feed, I was looking for a person, And I’d never seen a profile pic that was honestly this worsen'in But I bought the whole deception, now I got a new obsession Wonder why I feel the panic from this macabre independent, Fate clicked your name in the session. I was dealt a weird connection, wasn't gonna lead to nothing. Thank goodness for perception, intuition, and my gut thing. ‘Cause with that, yo, I’m enlightened, now I’m just completely frightened. Whenever your persona hits the public. Posing in so many pictures, typing in the cryptic scriptures, Leaving messages on my phone screen and I’m buggin’. And with all this new affection, I can’t believe this death level, Specially when I thought that you were special. A somber, arty loner who loves death metal. The response is just a hunger, for the blood, can’t thank you, no sir. Dedicated to the instinct that got me out of this cellar, Ya saved my life and my cerebellum. [Hook] I pulled back the curtain, showed me what you had inside. A canyon full of want, too barren for a guide. Ya made it to my marrow, had to dig under the hide. There’s nothing else you need to feel alive. That hunger! (So, so cold) (Yeah, the craving's so, so old!) So single-minded! (So, so cold) (Yeah, it kept you from the pyre, yeah!) That hunger! (So, so cold) (Yeah, your want is so, it’s so, so!) So single-minded! (So, so cold) (Yeah, it kept you from the pyre, yeah, come on!) [Verse 2] Back in the day I went through profiles in my head, dreams that you were different. But my awful premonitions, they came and made it all come with attrition. Sometimes with a new person, I’ll straight show my optimism through listenin'. A chance, for the misunderstood, patience, for the legal bounds for a friendship and screw judgment. Way back when I was hopeful, what’s unused, my logic is total- -ly gone and I’m emotional, didn’t consider that in a moment I would be focal, The target for something so local. I'd sit there, words were delivered hella hard from a talker, a walker. Recognizing all the enormous want I’d get in your bleak stare and positive silence when I’d falter. This is how I say it’s over, to all of your advances, it’s over. And you can tell all those corpses that wait in the ground that they just upset that they ain’t you, sir. ‘Cause their favorite meal is gone, and neglects its flesh, he does do. But your favorite meal has run out the back of the building to get away from you. [Hook] I pulled back the curtain, showed me what you had inside. A canyon full of want, too barren for a guide. Ya made it to my marrow, had to dig under the hide. There’s nothing else you need to feel alive. That hunger! (So, so cold) (Yeah, the craving's so, so old!) So single-minded! (So, so cold) (Yeah, it kept you from the pyre, yeah!) That hunger! (So, so cold) (Yeah, your want is so, it’s so, so!) So single-minded! (So, so cold) (Yeah, it kept you from the pyre, yeah, come on!) [Outro] Wow. Thank you to the cab I hailed down. I mean it more than you know. I thank you for not asking questions. And just telling me to go. And I will forever be there, Through stoplight, street, or row. You’re right there with the living, ‘Cause I'm breathing now, there’s only one other place she can go.
